This isn't exactly classroom material, but I'm struggling to find enough ways to say goodbye. Here are a couple of links in memory of my friend, John TenBroeck. John passed away on Friday of cancer. He was a stalwart supporter of 26.2 with Donna, the National Marathon to Fight Breast Cancer, and coached the walkers for the Galloway Program here in Jacksonville, the marathon and half-marathon training program I founded and co-direct. I spent time with John Wednesday and Thursday at hospice: he was fairly lucid and appreciated all the support the running community was showing him.
The first link is to a Florida Times-Union article about John. One note about the information concerning his marriage - both the writer and a fellow BCM board member who is a columnist for the paper argued that his marriage details didn't belong in the article, but the editor refused to honor their request.

The second link is to a video blog post by Kurtis Loftus, a fellow Fastie in the training program and the artist who designed the poster, t-shirt, and medal for our innagural race.
